The latter species, known as "suo yang" in Chinese and is extensively used in herbal medicines. The genus is sometimes included within Balanophoraceae, but unlike that family it has bisexual flowers intermixed with male and female flowers within the dense inflorescence. Cynomorium has been known for thousands of years by ancient people who used it for food, medicine, and even for dyeing. Arabs call the plant "tarthuth" and Bedouins ate the interior portions of fresh young stems, prepared infusions of older stems to treat colic or stomach ulcers, or dried and pulverized the plant for use as a spice or condiment with meat dishes (see wonderful article by Robert Lebling HERE). Medicinal uses of tarthuth can be traced to Al-Kindi, Al-Razi (Rhazes), Ibn Masawayh, Ibn Wahshiya, and Maimonides but the plant became known to Europeans only in the 16th century. A group called the Knights Hospitaller of St. John operated a hospital in Jerusalem and learned of the medicinal qualities of tarthuth from local Muslim physicians.

 When the Crusaders lost Jerusalem to the Muslims, they moved to the island of Malta where Cynomorium was also native. The site where "Maltese Mushroom" grew (Fungus Rock) was thereafter vigorously guarded and thieves were imprisoned or made galley slaves. The "treasure of drugs," as the Arabs called it, was used for a variety of purposes, including treating apoplexy, venereal disease, high blood pressure, vomiting, irregular menstrual periods and as a contraceptive and toothpaste. In his book "The Private Life of Plants, David Attenborough implies that the medicinal qualities of Cynomorium can be attributed to the "Doctrine of Signatures," i.e. that if a plant bore a physical resemblance to a part of the human body, this plant was useful in treating a disease associated with that part. For example, because Cynomorium appears reddish-brown and darkens upon drying, it could be considered useful in treating ailments of the blood. Moreover, the phallic shape meant the plant could also be used to treat sexual problems. Evidence is now accumulating that the ancient Muslims may have been correct with regard to the medicinal qualities of tarthuth. See References (below) for modern pharmacological work aimed at determining actual biochemical activity.

The roots of white thorn in the flow of water along the access to the site for its storage. At this time of the advent of winter, white thorn stopped growth. Cynomorium seed absorption of nutrients white thorn, rapid growth, growth. Parasitic part fist large packets. After a winter breeding, the coming year in March began germination, and in drama, dozens days can grow up and pollination, Seeds, started a new round of growth cycle.
